Vicky Kaushal has a string of interesting movies lined up ahead of him.
Now, we hear that the actor will reunite with Laxman Utekar (Luka Chuppi, Mimi fame) for a big-budget warrior movie.
If this Peeping Moon report is to be believed, Vicky is in talks with Laxman for his upcoming directorial, which is said to be a larger-than-life biopic of a historical figure.
The yet-to-be-titled movie will be supposedly bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films.
“Laxman Utekar is next making a big-scale warrior film, and Vicky Kaushal is his first choice. They have discussed the project, and talks have been positive so far. Vicky has liked the material and gave his verbal nod, but he will sign the film only after the full narration. The film is still in the writing process, so it may take a few more months for that to happen. However, based on the preliminary discussions, Vicky is more or less aboard this exciting period drama.”

As the report further suggests, the makers are eying to take the movie to the floor sometime around mid-2023. However, it depends on Vicky’s schedule.
The movie in question would mark Vicky’s second collaboration with director Laxman Utekar after their yet-to-release social-comedy about a married couple, co-starring Sara Ali Khan.
“Laxman is bored with doing small-town stories like Luka Chuppi and Mimi. He wants to make mainstream commercial films now, and this warrior film with Vicky Kaushal is his first attempt towards that. It’s kind of a passion project for him, and he wants to mount it on a much bigger scale than any Maddock Films project to date. Laxman and Vicky had a great bond while shooting their first film and are excited to collaborate again on a story they are both equally passionate about,” the source added.
